SERVICE CENTERS MOULDS

As a matter of basic principle, moulds are designed as expendable items. Yet, in certain cases it may be economically worthwhile for a client to have his large-section moulds reworked.

KME's maintenance and repair services for mould tubes and plates include the proper remachining as well as repair of stud-welded moulds and possible recoating of the copper, plus a complete overhaul of the entire mould assembly, if needed. These services for maintenance, assembling, recoating etc. are for customer requirements on a worldwide basis to be handled in the network of KME mould service centers.
